If you mean "the GSS-API dissector reports, for the security blob in the
Session Setup andX reply, 'Unknown header (cls=2, con=1, tag=1)'", yes,
I think that's the issue - cls=2 is ASN1_CTX for context-dependent
types, and con=1 means a constructed type, and RFC 2478 says

  3.2.1. Syntax

     This section specifies the syntax of the corresponding
     "innerContextToken" field for the first token and subsequent
     negotiation tokens. During the mechanism negociation, the
     "innerContextToken" field contains the ASN.1 structure
     "NegociationToken" given below, encoded using the DER encoding
     conventions.

  NegotiationToken ::= CHOICE {
                                negTokenInit  [0]  NegTokenInit,
                                negTokenTarg  [1]  NegTokenTarg }

and, if I remember my ASN.1 correctly (there's a non-trivial chance that
I don't), a NegTokenTarg would be a context-dependent constructed type
with a tag of 1.
